I kind of know how to make the character, different angles, and the drawing part. I wonder though the basic steps for animating the turn in Anime Studio. Say you have the front view, 3/4 view, side view and back. Do you use switch layers? I have bits and pieces of how to do this in my mind's eye but...

This explained it very well, thank you!

I have finally figured out the basics in bones and binding through watching youtube videos, etc. Yay! So here's where I'm stuck: In the videos I have seen, at frame zero, the limbs for a person are all separated as to be arranged how you like. For example, the head might be separate but on top, the ...

Yes, you're right, there were stray Keyframes waaaay ahead on the timeline. I have no idea how they came to be there, but I must be at fault. I hope that's my issue every time, because it is easy to isolate!

Thanks,

This is a recurring issue that I am having now with Anime Studio, which I bought less than a year ago. Mainly, I will edit, arrange, or move something in frame zero and in the video it appears "messed up" or unpredictable and wrong. As this is really difficult to say in writing, I posted a...

Hi, I've put in two wav. files overlapping in my animation, and the gurgling water noise is too loud for the voice noise. I went to Layers, Gurgle, Audio, and it didn't look like there was much volume control? I set the Audio Level on zero and it's still way loud. I guess I'll just make the other on...

We all understand how to change the color of a line. So how come sometimes it doesn't work? Does this happen to other people? Sometimes, for NO REASON, the color refuses to change???? I've done it a million times and it did work, but every once in a while, a glitch..... 15 minutes of frustration! I ...

Is there a way to speed up or slow down stroke exposure?

Any clues?

Thanks!

Thanks, so now I've bound the separate parts to the bones using different layers, and all is well, except that for unknown reasons, the wrist is not fully attached to the arm, and so the arm moves from the middle, the hand stays. Not sure why. Is there a way to say "Connect" since it didn'...

Hi, again I am new to bones, and the big problem I am currently having is large areas of my figure's body moving when they are not supposed to, like if I move her arm, her whole body twists. So I'm wondering if there is a way to block movement on sections of a cartoon or something similar. Also, if ...

That was most helpful! I could not find it in the book at all.

Hi, I am just getting started with bones. I have a character in a vector image that I would like to add bones to, but cannot figure out how to get my figure to the bones layer. It won't copy and paste and of course imports to a new layer. Any tips?

Thanks!
